Highway 540 took me through the hills of Boston Mountains and probably  for the first time I drove ... under the speed limit, waaay under the speed limit. At some point  my speedometer showed 59 m/h (speed limit on that road is 70)!

I didn't buy any fennel,  $5.99 a head was a little too much to pay, so I skipped it.

Salad is light, crunchy, healthy, and very easy to make. 
Wasn't very affordable this time though...
